Ed Sheeran and billionaire Robert Kraft have pledged a combined $4 million (£3 million) towards humanitarian aid in the region after Macklemore announced he would donate his $1 million (£748,000) in net earnings from Sheeran's Loop Tour to organisations supporting Palestinians.
Kraft said Sheeran contacted him before Macklemore publicly challenged him to match the donation, adding a new financial dimension to the dispute that erupted after the rapper was removed from the tour.
